Tragic car crash claims lives of Indian family of four in US
A tragic car accident claimed the lives of a family of four with Indian roots, originally from Hyderabad and residing in Texas. The incident occurred in Green County, Alabama, as they were returning to Dallas from Atlanta after a Fourth of July weekend visit with relatives. The victims, identified as Venkat Bejugam, his wife Tejaswini Cholleti, and their children Siddarth and Mrida Bejugam, were involved in a head-on collision with a mini truck allegedly driving in the wrong lane at high speed. Tragically, the collision caused their car to catch fire, resulting in their deaths. Authorities in Alabama are conducting forensic examinations, including dental record verification and DNA testing, to formally confirm the identities before releasing the bodies to the family. The Bejugam family resided in Sutton Fields near Dallas, and nonprofit organization TEAM Aid is supporting their loved ones in coordinating logistical matters following the tragedy. Updates on the repatriation process will be provided once completed, as local police continue to investigate the crash. This devastating incident has sparked concerns regarding road safety and the urgency for stricter measures to prevent wrong-lane driving accidents that have claimed lives in previous years.
